My doctor of choice for any gastrointestinal issues. Excellent bed-side manner; never acts like he's in a hurry, explains everything well. Office personnel, nurses, etc. all wonderful!

Dr Ravi is a very caring Doctor. He always listens to my concerns before making decisions about my care. He has provided our family with wonderful care the past 10 years including recommendations to seek further medical care at Mayo when care was needed that he could not provide.

I was seen by Dr. Mallavarapu a year ago and underwent an EGD. This year I had a follow-up EGD to make sure everything had healed. The procedure was on time and completely painless. His staff was caring and completely allayed any fears I had about the procedure. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Ravi was fine. The problem is that no one tells you before hand that a consultation before your colonoscopy is going to be billed as not part of the colonoscopy. Therefore, what you call for and ASK ahead of time if it will be covered and the ANSWER is YES.... it really isn't. It is now an office call which is not fully covered as part of the colonoscopy. In addition. Your 'facility fee' is not covered as part of the colonoscopy either and you will be billed for that.

Dr. Ravi and his staff are very caring, professional people. Dr. Ravi always has a smile on his face and is willing to listen. He genuinely cares about his patients and so does his staff. They made the procedure go smoothly and care about your comfort. Dr. Ravi is very thorough. My husband and I both go to him for colonoscopies. Dr. Ravi is excellent.

From the front desk to them walking me out this was a great experience for me. I'd never been sedated before (by anyone else:) and have always feared it. Everyone was friendly but not overly so and very professional. It went really smooth and I found out that demoral is awesome.

I was having an issue and really not feeling well. I called and left a message on Dr. Ravi's nurses line. When she called me back the same day he wanted me to come in the next morning for a procedure that totally fixed the problem.
